Loud fans on startup

[SHG_Marsh]

For the past week, whenever I either restart my computer or boot it up from shut down, the fans are really loud for no reason. My first instinct is that there might be a heavy load on startup but when I check task manager, theres nothing out of the ordinary. The fans do slow down after a couple of minutes but for the first few minutes my laptop gets loud.

 

My questions are, is this bad and if so, how do I fix it? If there is nothing wrong with the fans ramping up on startup then I won't worry about it but if something is wrong, i want to fix it.

 

Specs:

Windows 10

HP Envy x360

ryzen 5 4500u

Assuming you have no other software trying to control the fans, then ramping of speed is directly tied to the additional load (and therefore heat) generated during startup.

 

Check for any unnecessary programs that are running during startup ('Startup' tab in Task Manager). Disable any high impact ones you don't use if possible.

 

If it's been a while since you've cleaned the laptop then I'd do that as well to make sure the cooling system is performing as best as it can.

 

After doing that, don't worry about it.
